[PATCH] powerpc: Adjust base and index registers in Altivec macros

On POWER6 systems RA needs to be the base and RB the index. If they are reversed you take a misdirect hit. Signed-off-by: Mike Wolf --- altivec.orig/arch/powerpc/include/asm/ppc_asm.h 2009-08-17 15:39:52.0 -0500 +++ altivec/arch/powerpc/include/asm/ppc_asm.h 2009-08-20 18

[PATCH] powerpc: adjust oprofile_cpu_type

Resending. the patch was munged last time. Oprofile is changing the naming it is using for the compatibility modes. Instead of having compat-power, oprofile will go to family naming convention and use compat-v. Currently only compat-v1 will be defined. Signed-off-by: Mike Wolf

[PATCH] change where the kernel loads

tboot. So this patch changes boot/zImage.lds to load the kernel at the same location that the mkzimage would set. This has been boot tested on POWER5, POWER5+, blades and POWER6 systems successfully. signed off by: Mike Wolf ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- --- linux-2.6.16.46-0.12.orig/arch/po

Resend: [PATCH] oprofile support for Power 5++

The patch has not been included and there have been no comments so I'm resending. This patch adds a new oprofile cpu type for Power 5 revision 3 chips. The new name is ppc64/power5++ and is used so that the performance counters can be set up correctly. Signed-off-by: Mike Wolf <[EMAIL P
